Auren POV

Next day when I came down along with Lucien to the dining hall for breakfast, I saw Tarian. He was looking slightly perturbed

Lacien sat at the head of the table after he made me sit on my chair. "What's wrong. Tarian?" he asked as he served roasted chicken to me.

Tartu took a ragged breath. He shook his head as he sat beside Lucien "I was on my usual right patrol at midnight when suddenly our chief tracker, Waber, smelled dark magic outside the north border. He called me on an urgent hasis informing me about it, I thought he was asking me to go toward Eldermere ruins, because that's where we smell magic, but he called me toward the north wing of your manor. When I reached there, he pointed at the forest. We split up and followed the scent, but by the time I reached there, the witch was gone. Even he couldn't find her. It was like she disappeared into thin air."

I clenched my fists in my lap. Nothing was making sense. I exchanged a glance with Lucien and he asked me through the mind link to stay quiet,

A muscle feathered in Lucien's jaw. Then he looked at me and called Vivi. "Vivir"

Vivi came rushing in "Yes Alpha" she asked, wiping her hand on her apron. "Send Belle here." he growled.

Vivi sulled for a moment sensing his anger, but she bowed and left.

Tarian's brows furrowed. "Why are you calling Belle!"

Before Lucien could reply, Belle came in. She looked nervously at the three of us. "Yes Alpha?" she asked.
